Is this the first movie...


Where someone is shot and they cough up the bullet? I know I've seen it in a few movies now, but can't remember which ones. Been a fan of this movie for a long time and did not realize the director, Kathryn Bigelow, also made two other great movies, Point Break and Strange Days. Particularly Strange Days is one of the great sci-fi movies ever made. Unfortunately, whoever owns the rights has made it very difficult to track down. I finally had to buy a used DVD on ebay.

With his gaunt face, piercing eyes and a voice that sounds like he has cigarettes and whiskey for breakfast, Lance Henrikson was tailor made for this role.

'Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth' (1992) features a sequence where Pinhead coughs bullets, but that's after Near Dark...

It was the first time I ever saw a bullet coughed up. I would guess this is the first movie this happened in. I don't think the tone of film-making would have been right for coughing-up-bullet scenes before this.
